I got them today, runs like crap and would'nt go over 20mph, it's starting to make me mad :banghead:
I dont know what the odds are but it's starting to upset the waters around here :angryfire:, well I guess just me. If it's timing chain related I know for sure it's NOT because the oil never got changed, it be because of substandard parts! If it's computer related or coil related I'll feel better about it. I dont trust the OUTLOOK, I trust my '05 VUE 100 times more and even trust the '08 SIERRA I just bought one month ago 100 times more right now ( I feel like I've had it since new, it just feels right)(I had the OUTLOOK since new and that right now really does'nt feel right :-\). When this thing gets fixed it had better stay running good for a While. Last night was the first night since new it has spent outside :sosad:. pouring rain, wind, who knows what else :binky:Sailfish said:Well crap! :banghead:
I can't believe it you just got it back from the dealer working on it. What are the odds? :mope:
I have said that since last year when the timing chain on my Outlook failed. I was meticulous in changing the oil between 3000 and 3500 miles. For the chain to stretch, which is what the service department told me it was, the parts used had to been inferior.6Sixathome said:I dont know what the odds are but it's starting to upset the waters around here :angryfire:, well I guess just me.

That's what I'm hoping that they might not have plugged somthing in tightly enough when they did the water pump job. A flatbed came and got it today but the dealer did'nt have time to look at since it happened on Sat and they were not open, he said tomorrow a.m. Hopefully not much fuel got dumped into the oil or worse yet the cats. I'll change the oil just to be sure, it does'nt even have 2K on yet. My local Car Quest let me barrow the OBDII which was an AWESOME tool, I can see it now I'd be plugging that thing in every other day if I had one :-\rbarrios said:hmmm, the 300 is ramdom misfire.
and the 302, 304, 306 are the even cylinders... wonder if its a loose connector...

Fingers crossed that's all it is and not major surgury :-\ but who knows though.Sailfish said:hno:
Oh I definitely have my fingers AND toes crossed for you. Good luck!6Sixathome said:Fingers crossed that's all it is and not major surgury :-\ but who knows though.
I would; although I really haven't touched mine except for two minor repairs6Sixathome said:I'm thinking an extended warranty might be in the cards even though my PT warranty is good for another 2.5 yrs.
What kind of deductable do you have?AA/78U said:I would; although I really haven't touched mine except for two minor repairs
:comfort:6Sixathome said:Well more good news, now I'm getting code P0430 catalyst below threshold, I'm guessing that when the cam sensor went raw unburned fuel dumped into the cat conv and gummed it up or the o2 sensor behind it unless the ECM shut the injectors off when it knew it was misfiring, I tapped on the cat conv with a rubber mallet and no loose noise inside of it, perfect more time at the dealer. I should note that it runs perfect and smooth, probably better than it did before so go figure :-\
Thanks for the comfort, this ordeal is :bs: for sure!Sailfish said::comfort:
